MEDIUM 5.5EPSS 0.25%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.25%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the udevConnectListAllInterfaces() function in libvirt. This issue can occur when detaching a host interface while at the same time collecting the list of interfaces via virConnectListAllInterfaces API.
